It kinda freaked me out when I loaded that message via my Hotmail account.  
I always feel pretty immune from virus problems by using online email.  I 
tend to have a multiple copies of IE open, reading messages from one list 
from one copy, while mail from another list is loading into another copy.

I read mail from a different list while the virus email from the Lib list 
was loading in the other copy of IE... clicked over to read the Lib mail, 
and found it was still loading!!  I looked at the incoming data indicator 
icon, and it was still lit up, data still coming in!  I'd seen 'virus' in a 
couple other subject fields, and then discovered that the virus file was 
loading as ascii text in the body of the message.

I just deleted the email at that point.  I'm certain it wasn't able to 
affect anything at that point, but it was a bit scarey there for a moment.  
I hate having to load virus software, or to run it from floppies.

Matt
